Order serves as the bedrock foundation for פרדס logic analysis. This term סוגיה prioritizes subject “issues” raised by each and every sub-chapter. The Gemara analysis of the faceted language of the Mishna broken down into easily identifiable “sections”. My Rav, Aaron Nemuraskii taught me: First Order then speed. The first time we completed the Sha’s Bavli together we did it in four months. But prior to making a study of the Talmud, Rav Aaron required development of basic skills. 1) Read the Chumash in Hebrew like I could read an English newspaper. 2) Do the same with the Aramaic Targums. 3) Make an in-depth across the board study of classic Midrash. Achieving this foundation took almost 5 years of intense study.
Rav Nemuraskii did not accept a salary from the Yeshiva. The integrity of this Man reminds me of President Trump who refuses to take a salary as President of the United States. During these crucial five years we would learn, or he permitted me to study privately in my dorm room alone, due to my Dyslexia “sugya”. Surrounding outside movement, noise my kryptonite. Only this Rav and Dr. Dunning, my Russian history professor at Texas A&M ever recognized my dyslexia “sugya”. Dr. Dunning rather than insist that I sit in a class-room demanded the substitute of my doing research in the University library while sitting in a private carrel. Both men demanded excellence in scholarship. In the latter case, wrote a thesis that argued the genius of Stalin in that he enticed Hitler to invade Russia prior to the expected fall of Britain, which forced Germany to fight a two-front war. Used this thesis to explain why Stalin withdrew unto complete social isolation for about a week.
Under the leadership of the Czar, the long drawn out fight known as WWI caused that government of three centuries to collapse – burned in the flames of internal revolution which pitted Social Revolutionary anarchists against Mensheviks. The Mensheviks favored that Soviet local Parliaments regulate all bureaucracies which in their turn regulated industry and trade.
Bakunin viewed the “Establishment” State – bureaucratic machine as inherently oppressive which fundamentally required dismantlement. Marxist-Leninism by stark contrast, re-established Czarist Russia’s bureaucratic autocracy. The political assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand by a Serbian nationalist initiated WWI and lead to the establishment of Kerensky Russian Provisional Government in 1917. This first post Czarist government based itself upon the anarchist Social Revolutionary Party/Bakunin founder\ who like the Serbian nationalist group – called the Black Hand – favored assassination as a key tool to achieve political change. The Kerensky government separated from Bakunin’s political ideas over the matter of political assassinations.
The Social Revolutionary Bakunin Party did advocate for political violence and assassination as a anarchist challenge to terminate the inherently “corrupt” bureaucratic State; yet in post Revolution Russia its leaders pursued a more reformist agenda, aiming to stabilize the state rather than dismantle it through assassination. The Social Revolutionary Party, followed and accepted Bakunin’s views concerning the anarchist value of political violence as an anarchist challenge to rest power away from the State and its corrupt bureaucracies. They justified such actions as essential to destabilize oppressive bureaucratic structures, aligning with Bakunin’s broader revolutionary goals.
Bakunim opposed the rigid Marx theory which organized revolution as a fight between the Classes which pitted the bourgeoisie (capitalists) against the proletariat (working class). The latter political idea lead to the establishment of the “dictatorship of the proletariat” under Lenin. Bakunim’s Social Revolutionaries Peasants Party prioritized a society organized around communes and federations, collective ownership free from any centralized bureaucratic regulatory power. Important to remember that Czarist bureaucratic Autocracy, like the Confederate States of America, clung to an agricultural based, class rule society, rather than an industrial based society – until defeat through wars forced change in Bolshevik Russia and the crushed Southern States – the ashes of General Sherman’s Atlanta, and his march to the Sea.
What does this have to due with קידושין? Does the Talmud institute the institutions of religious law as the Rambam, Tur, and Shulkan Aruch advocate or Torah as the written Constitution of the 12 Tribe Republic, which enshrines צדק צדק תרדוף as the faith mandate for Great Sanhedrin משנה תורה-Legislative Review as its Constitutional mandate? Clearly the former idea favors the realities of oppressed g’lut Jews. Whereas the latter vision exists as a prophesy for the restoration of a Constitutional Jewish Republic within the borders of an Independent “Zionist” Jewish State.
How to define these two opposing, fundamentally different interpretations in a word? Power vs. Justice. Contrast the lawfare employed against Trump and his Maga supporters before and after he won the 2024 election! Compare this to Darth Vader who said unto Luke in the opening Star Wars movie: “You do not know the power of the Dark-Side of the Force”. The Rambam second quoted halacha made kosher child rape to accomplish קידושין in his halachic code. In Chullin Rambam’s halacha prioritizes knowledge over יראת שמים in shechita – butchery of animals for human consumption. But the Apecorus (or Epicurus), possesses the required knowledge, and yet the sages within the Gemara ruled such shechita as treif. Clearly, this person lacks יראת שמים; the awareness that protecting ones’ good name reputation understood and prioritized as the most essential requirement for any public service or commercial trade.
Its this fundamental distinction which separates Torah Constitutional governance, expressed through משנה תורה common law Sanhedrin Federal courtrooms from g’lut religious ritual halachot which separates Justice from Power – tohor from tuma. Hence have compared קידושין of the Talmud to the Bakunin vs Marxist socialist political theories as a way to high-light the sharp separation between Justice from Power; righteousness from oppression.
Have openly despised the Rambam halachic codification as a perversion of Judicial common law courtrooms within the borders of the oath sworn lands vs. static ritual halachot for g’lut Jewry to be religious and therein believe in God. The Torah has no such commandment to believe in God.
Mishna Chagigah 2:1:
משנה חגיגה ב:א. אין דורשין במרכבה בשלושה דברים: באדם, ובעלמא, ובשמות. וכל העוסק בַּמרכבה, אין לו חלק לעולם הבא.
The soul of Man; the interpretation of the Isaiah’s vision concerning the Divine Chariot; and Divine Names. This warning provokes a strong Yatzir for good and evil within the Heart. Impossible to learn Isaiah and Yehezkel’s vision simply by reading the words of these prophets by themselves alone.
This Mishna warns against the NT avoda zara error of attempting to learn “Big Picture” ideas which the prophets spoke without cementing these later prophetic mussar to Torah commandments. The NT av tuma avoda zara did this error with Moshiach. It failed to learn the mitzva of Moshiach to the precedent of Moshe standing before the court of Par’o touching the matter of straw withheld, while the slave overlords beat Israelites for our failure to meet our brick production quotas.
Moshe anointed the House of Aaron as Moshiach, not to make absolutely silly and utterly worthless ritual barbeques unto heaven-sacrifices. Rather to dedicate oath brit dedication of tohor middot\מלכות/ which directly impact Israelite social behavior thereafter. The mitzva of Moshiach from the Torah, rests upon the burden to rule the oath sworn conquered lands with judicial justice which makes fair compensation of damages inflicted.
The vision of the Merkabah, a vision of the mitzva of Moshiach. באדם learns from the Menorah in the Mishkan vision description. The brit cut between the pieces wherein childless Avram cut his soul through an oath alliance; the dedication of Cohen seed life in the world to come. What defines the soul of Man? The creation of the world to come future born soul Cohen seed. Herein expressly defines the k’vanna of the mitzva of קידושין. The 7 Menorah branches refers to the 7 Yom Tov “soul of the Cohen seed of the Avot”: Pesach-Shevuot; Rosh HaShana-Yom Kippur; Sukkot-Sh’meni Atzaret and Shabbat. These 7 Holy periods, they affix Divine Names for the Cohen “soul” dedicated on those holy days; Pesach: Nefesh (Divine Name) Ya; Shevuot: Ruach (Divine Name) Ha’El; Rosh HaShana: Neshama (Divine Name) El; Yom Kippur: Chiyya (Divine Name) Elohim; Sukkot: Yechida (Divine Name) El Shaddai; Shemeni Atzaret: Nefesh Kalli (Divine Name) Eish HaElohim; and Shabbat הבדלה (Divine Name) Shalom.
בעלמא do not contemplate concerning the creation of the physical world, like as does treif Xtian fundamentalist avoda zara. The dedication of the Book of בראשית introduces the subject of “Av” time-oriented Torah commandments! בשמות the abstract naming of עולם הבא as yet unborn Cohen Children souls through Divine Names in compliance with the oath sworn alliance cut upon the “soul” of Avram at the brit between the pieces. The cutting of the animals into their opposing halves at that Av-brit, teaches the prophetic mussar, just expressed, by means of משל\נמשל.
This סודי kabbalah concealed during g’lut oppression. The Mishna, codified in 210 CE, broke the tradition of not writing down the Oral Torah Great Sanhedrin courts legal rulings. The Mishna Chagigah 2:1 warns not to make reactionary, shallow, one source interpretations – like the Goyim do with their NT shallow theology driven interpretation to place the mitzva of Moshiach into a clean box. The Mishna, a common law legal system which fundamentally requires making a דרוש-פשט search of how the language of the prophets serves as a precedent wherein they interpret the k’vanna of Torah positive and negative commandments elevated to tohor time oriented commandments. Failure to heed this dire warning defines both the NT and Rambam Yad av tuma avoda zara heresies.

הלהות גדולות הלכות קידושין
אסיר ליה גבר ישראל למנסב איתתא
This opening line prohibits sexual acts as a means to acquire a woman as a wife without the time oriented k’vanna of the mitzva of קידושין. This fundamental distinction separate the kosher B’HaG common law halachic code from the treif av tuma Rambam statute law halachic code which perverts the oath brit cut between the pieces touching the life and birth of the chosen Cohen people throughout all generations in time to a profaned religious ritual observance that Jews in g’lut can easily do and keep.
Making ritual observance of Torah commandments and rabbinic halakot defines the justification by by רשעים to pervert the Talmud away from the kabbalah of rabbi Akiva, Yishmael, HaGalili – their understanding of פרדס as a unique inductive reason logic system which systematically compares Case/Rule to similar Case\Rule precedents. The burden of modern Zionism, now that we have achieved national Independence, to restore the Torah as the written Constitution of our Republic and the Sanhedrin Federal Court system, which has the mandate of Legislative Review of all law passed by the Knesset, as the basis of Jewish justice — as opposed to political power — within the borders of the oath sworn lands.
Common law courtrooms no more resemble ritual halachic religious observances than Brit compares to covenant. Only a shallow reactionary ignorance declares that the meaning of brit the same meaning as the alien puke covenant. Absolutely no Torah mitzva for Jews to live in accursed g’lut. The Wilderness generation serves as witness to this cold hard fact. Raising a handkerchief as a symbol for “acquisition” and intent for the time oriented mitzva of קידושין, compares to marriage after visiting a whore-house.
בה”ג: עד דמקדש לה בכספא או בתבובתא או בביאה, וכולהי בסהדי\וכולי בעדי. בכסף מדאוריתא מנלן. דכתיב (דברים כד,א) כי יקח איש אשה וכתיב התם (בראשית כג:יג) נתתי כסף השדה קח ממני. מה קיחה דהתם בכספא אף קיחה דהכא בכספא. ותנן האשה נקנית בשלשה דרכים, וקונה את עצמה בשני דרכים במיתת הבעל ובגט. נקנת בכסף בשטר ובביאה, בכסף, ב”ש אומרים בדינר ובשוה דינר. בה”א בפרוטה ובשוה פרוטה, הילכתא כבית הילל. וכמה היא פרוטה וכו.
Contrast Karo’s כסף משנה super-commentary on the Rambam who declared money as merely a rabbinic mitzva! Karo’s statute law clear as the sun in the sky on a cloudless day, did not understand the priority which T’NaCH and Talmudic common law bases all Torah learning upon precedents! G’lut religious statute law, based simply upon the Karo commentary upon the Rambam could not care a less about precedents. Hence the Beit Yosef collage of Reshonim opinions on any given halacha does not base itself upon the T’NaCH/Talmudic יסוד which absolutely requires all Torah learning expressed through the discipline of bringing פרדס inductive reasoning which compares Case/Din to similar Case\Din courtroom rulings. Karo’s Shulkan Aruch focused solely upon g’lut religious ritual observances; his code failed to express or reveal any Torah wisdom which teaches Av Torah time oriented commandments, as the Talmudic framers explicitly intended.
Never as any of the sick book licker rabid rabbis ever criticize Karo’s contradiction against a Gaon scholar! Their inept ירידות הדורות box thinking which openly declares that later generations cannot dispute with earlier generation as vacuous as air inside a balloon. Off the דרך Orthodox Judaism statute law rabbis, they have no shame.
Bakunin’s revolt against bureaucratic autocracy resembles the Talmudic revolt against the frozen halakhic codification of Rambam and Karo. Where Marx restored a new form of centralized coercion, Rambam’s Yad replaced deliberative common law with legislative absolutism. Both substitute administration for judicious common law lateral Sanhedrin Federal courtroom justice. קידושין simply not some sterile religious ritual that thrives in g’lut. But rather this mesechta of the Talmud teaches a strong mussar rebuke to the generations. Don’t get to comfortable in g’lut. Don’t duplicate the false oath sworn by the pre-Shoah generations of European Orthodox Judaism. Acceptance of the Sinai revelation predicates upon seeking the restoration of a public constitutional Republic, comparable to a man who seeks a wife.
The perpetuation of the oath time oriented brit Cohen-seed from generation to generation defines the destiny of the children of Avraham, Yitzak, and Yaacov. Ritual religious halachic observance in g’lut as useful as sucking tits from a boar hog. The Torah, taught through the משל of the mitzva of קידושין instructs the דיוק נמשל that Geulah from g’lut Egyptian legal oppression depends not upon observance of empty religious ritual observances, g’lut Jews cursed by the Torah curse that they have lost the wisdom how to obey the Torah לשמה. Rather Geulah depends upon the strengch of our cries, like we made in Egypt, which express our yearning to rule our homeland with judicial common law just courtrooms. The difference between Rambam’s halakhic code and the Talmud’s constitutional jurisprudence, the difference between Power and Justice — between exile and sovereignty.
Now that the Jewish people have restored sovereignty, our task is not ritual observance but judicial redemption — to rebuild the Torah as written Constitution and restore Sanhedrin legislative review as the Republic’s foundation. Only then will צדק replace כח — justice replace power — and קידושין fulfill its purpose as oath-brit of national rebirth of the chosen Cohen people.
